Oh my God... I would absolutely LOVE to own a Novachord! I've never seen one in Britain.
You're a lucky man. Swop you a Bird organ. Go on!
Best wishes,

> I was contacted last week by a production company that needed some nice current photographs of a Hammond Novachord for a project they are working on. I responded and told them that I would be happy to try to oblige them but would need a few days to supply it, and they said that was fine, their deadline wasn't until today to submit the photos for approval.

> I spent four solid days excavating and cleaning my nightmare of a garage enough to reorganize and make room to pull a Novachord out and be able to set some backdropping in order to get some decent photos. I spent another day cleaning, polishing, and doing minor repairs to the prettiest of my Novachords in hopes that I could get it looking good enough to pose for some pretty pictures.

> A photographer friend of mine came over and took shots under different lightings and from different angles, took the camera home and did some cropping and editing, and came up with a nice array of attractive Novachord photos. I submitted the photos and got word back yesterday that the Art Director for the project was very pleased with the results and approved the photographs for use. They sent releases for my photographer and I to sign, and I faxed them back today, so it's a done deal.
